If reelected, Trump has pledged to finish the border wall, reinstitute travel bans and launch mass deportation efforts.

With a border deal hanging in the balance and the Iowa caucuses a month away, Donald Trump amplified his attack on immigrants at a rally in New Hampshire on Saturday.

“They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” the former president said. “They’ve poisoned mental institutions and prisons all over the world. Not just in South America, not just the three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world they’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia.”

While in the White House, Trump sought to deter immigration by building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, building some 450 miles of fencing along the nearly 2,000-mile border, much of which replaced existing barriers. In addition to strict border security measures, his administration also implemented a travel ban for people from several predominantly Muslim countries.

    Billions are being spent on new illegal migrants over the poor and desolate Biden could have closed the border and used that money and the tens if not hundreds of billions sent to the Ukraine to fox homelessness here in the states.

      Quod erat demonstrandum (as it was demonstrable) you completely ignored me showing you Biden kept the same policies of the orange cheeto in place when he arrived in the white house as well as the fact that the biggest thief of common resources are huge corporations and not poor immigrants coming to America in search of a better life.

      Keep talking about being stuck in echo chambers for everyone else without reflecting about yourself as it is a standard for brainless people, I’m sure you’ll fit right in the crowd who will vote for the biggest threat to the democratic world next November.
